In the six years I've known this chapter, they have had a pregnant sister and 41 year old sister and lesbian sisters--they are really good at looking at the heart of someone, whereas, as an advisor, I tend to think more about the group's image and the financial bottom line. I am proud of them when they make such decisions despite what other people may think--and they will defend those decisions to the end by supporting their sisters and challenging those who do comment. They epitomize sisterhood to me.
They are at a southern school which is small and "non-competitive". Based on what I am reading here, I guess that gives them a luxury others may not have.
I see nothing wrong with GLOs accepting moms, but I do think that moms may have to be willing to accept that they are entering the sorority's world, and not the sorority trying to fit their world.

Sounds like the chapter you advise is very progressive! Kudos to them! It definitely makes a difference when recruitment isn't cut throat. Chapters are more likely to take a chance in the name of sisterhood if they don't get ostracized for the choice.
